Axonal dying back of upper motor neurons in human ALS
Abstract Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) typically present with arm, leg, or bulbar weakness. While genetics plays a clear role, it cannot explain why symptoms start focally or how upper (UMN) and lower motor neuron (LMN) systems are linked. In this clinicopathological case series, we examined the relationships between UMN/LMN disease in ten ALS patients. Detailed clinical assessments and motor cortex, brainstem, and spinal cord tissues were collected via rapid autopsy.
Seizure medications and interictal spiking: Implications for cognition and behavior
CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT None of the authors has any conflict of interest to disclose. We confirm that we have read the Journal's position on issues involved in ethical publication and affirm that this report is consistent with those guidelines. REFERENCES 1, .

Emerging roles of long non‐coding RNAs in human epilepsy
The majority of human genes are transcribed solely into long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that do not code for proteins but do have numerous essential regulatory and structural roles.
Activity-Dependent Non-Coding RNA MAPK Interactome of the Human Epileptic Brain
Abstract : The human brain has evolved to have extraordinary capabilities, enabling complex behaviors. The uniqueness of the human brain is increasingly posited to be due in part to the functions of primate-specific, including human-specific, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) genes, systemically less conserved than protein-coding genes in evolution.
Sturge-Weber Syndrome Patient Registry: Delayed Diagnosis and Poor Seizure Control

For each patient, the age of diagnosis was compared with the age when symptoms were first noted. Each point represents a patient. Points in orange indicate patients who had a gap of at least 1 year between first manifestation of symptoms and diagnosis.
Noninvasive Biomarkers for Epilepsy: A New Way Forward
Dr. Loeb is John S. Garvin Professor and Head of the Department of Neurology and Rehabilitation, University of Illinois College of Medicine, Chicago, IL. Thanks to technology, it may be possible to diagnose epilepsy in patients earlier and via noninvasive means.
